To make some bite size taco salad you will need the following –

Wonton Wrappers (found in the produce area of the grocery store usually)
Cooking Spray
Taco Meat
Mexican Cheese, shredded
Lettuce, shredded
Guacamole
Pico
Sour Cream
Black Olives
Muffin Pan

You will need a muffin pan for this recipe. If you do not have one you can order it off Amazon or find it at your local big-box retailer.

First, preheat your oven to 350F and move the rack to the middle position.

Next, place a wonton wrapper into the muffin pan like it is a muffin liner. Push it down so the side go up and the bottom is flat.

Spray the wonton wrappers with the cooking spray.

Bake for about 5 minutes, you want them to be browned a little bit.

While those are cooling, make the taco meat! I have a great taco meat recipe that I use.

Once the wonton shells are cool you can start assembling your bite size taco salads.

Scoop the meat into the shell.

Top with your preferred cheese, then lettuce, pico, sour cream, and I like to add a little black olive on top.

Enjoy!

These are always a hit when I make them and there are never leftovers. So be prepared. Make a lot of shells. The shells can be made ahead of time and stored in an air-tight container.
